THIRD ANNUAL PAY IT FORWARD TOURNAMENT, SEPTEMBER 16 - Courtesy Of Mark Kerr.

Tucson - - - One of the great things about our bowling family are those who work hard and give back for the future of our sport, the youth bowler. One is Mr. Cory Knop of Ready to Strike.

Cory works with our younger bowlers and with the Junior Programs at Bowlero, as well with the other similar programs. Two years ago, Cory took it a step further with the creation of the Pay It Forward, which raises funds for all of Tucson's junior bowling programs.

Pay It Forward is more than bowling games at Bowlero. It is about the future of bowling and our junior bowlers, giving them the opportunity to succeed on and off the lanes.

You can bowl and donate through your entry fee. You can also donate to Pay It Forward and score off the lanes too. Cory is working to get sponsors for the third annual event, which Tucson Metro USBC will also be helping with a donation.

For more information, message Cory or call Ready to Strike, 520-719-9821.
